No more people gathered in your house all day, watching TV and playing video games.
Summer break was in full swing, then gone again before you know it, and now the kids are back to school.
No more people gathered in your house all day, watching TV and playing video games. Eating. And drinking (and dribbling and spilling). Your kids are no longer taking up the space. Not to mention their friends. And their friends friends. Then there were the nights you fired up the BBQ grill, or those nights the kids “helped” make dinner in the kitchen. And when they weren’t at home, they were outside. Football practice, band practice, meeting friends at favorite restaurants and parks. Then, bringing all the dirt and grime back home.
Looking back, it was an awesome summer. Great times, great family memories. And sometimes, messes happened. And that’s okay.

Step 1: Pre-Cleaning Inspection. Every carpet is different, which is why before we begin, we take the time to walk over your carpet and visually inspect it for any special attention your surfaces may need. Stains, scuffs, ground-in dirt, thinning areas… we’ll make a special note of what needs extra attention. This is also your chance to point out any areas you feel we need to pay special attention to so we make sure to focus on those areas.
Pre-Vacuum the carpet. That’s right, before we clean the carpet, we…clean the carpet! Turns out that a good, vigorous vacuuming right before treatment removes 79% of the dry soil so it never gets wet, and increases the overall effectiveness of the cleaning. So before we begin, we go over the entire surface with a vacuum, including the corners and hidden areas.
Step 3: Move the furniture. No, we’re not moving your stuff out onto the porch, but we will move what we can and put the rest up on “skidders”. This will protect your carpet from the furniture, your furniture from the cleaning chemicals, and is prevents nicks that might otherwise be caused by hoses and cords. Your carpet is important to us, but it’s not the only thing important to us. Your furniture needs care and protection, too.
Step 4: Pre-Treat Stubborn Spots. For pretty much the same reason you would pre-treat a stubborn stain on your clothes, the same philosophy applies to pre-treating spots on your carpet. Pre-treating makes the cleaning overall more effective, and increases the chances that a stain will come up like it was never there. We make every effort to clean out every stubborn stain… without damaging your carpet! Our goal is the same as yours–to get your carpet as close to “like new” as possible.
Step 5: Pre-condition the carpet. Yes, after we vacuum and pre-treat the stubborn spots, we have another “pre” step before we clean. Pre-conditioning the entire carpet gives the detergent more time to work, and, much like pre-rinsing your dishes, results in a far deeper and more effective clean than dirt extraction alone.
Step 6: Soil Extraction and Clean Water Rinse. Or put more simply, the actual cleaning and rinsing of your carpet. Gray’s professional carpet cleaners use a truck mounted unit that creates a high pressure, 230 degrees soft water rinse that penetrates deep down in the carpet, so there is no sticky residue left behind in the carpet that might attract soil as it dries.
Step 7: Block and/or tab the furniture. While the fibers are still drying, we prop the furniture on tabs to keep if off the carpet. These tabs help in many ways. Some furniture can cause new, permanent stains while the carpet is still drying. Furniture can also get unattractive watermarks from the shampooing.These tabs and blocks prevent both issues while speeding up the drying process under the furniture.
